The terms ‘first’ and ‘second’ are only used to distinguish one component from another component. For example, a first component may be named as a second component without deviating from the scope of the present disclosure.

In contrast, when an element is referred to as being “directly connected to” or “directly coupled to” another element or layer, there are no intervening elements or layers present.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in greater detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In describing the present disclosure, for ease of understanding, the same reference numerals are used to denote the same components throughout the drawings, and repetitive description on the same components will be omitted. Detailed description on well-known arts which are determined to make the gist of the disclosure unclear will be omitted. The accompanying drawings are provided to merely make the spirit of the disclosure readily understood, but not should be intended to be limiting of the disclosure. It should be understood that the spirit of the disclosure may be expanded to its modifications, replacements or equivalents in addition to what is shown in the drawings.

As used herein, ‘base station’ generally refers to a fixed station that communicates with a wireless device and may be denoted by other terms such as eNB (evolved-NodeB), BTS (base transceiver system), or access point.

As used herein, ‘user equipment (UE)’ may be stationary or mobile, and may be denoted by other terms such as device, wireless device, terminal, MS (mobile station), UT (user terminal), SS (subscriber station), MT (mobile terminal) and etc.

FIG. 1 illustrates a wireless communication system.

As seen with reference to FIG. 1, the wireless communication system includes at least one base station (BS) 20. Each base station 20 provides a communication service to specific geographical areas (generally, referred to as cells) 20 a, 20 b, and 20 c. The cell can be further divided into a plurality of areas (sectors).

The UE generally belongs to one cell and the cell to which the UE belong is referred to as a serving cell. A base station that provides the communication service to the serving cell is referred to as a serving BS. Since the wireless communication system is a cellular system, another cell that neighbors to the serving cell is present. Another cell which neighbors to the serving cell is referred to a neighbor cell. A base station that provides the communication service to the neighbor cell is referred to as a neighbor BS. The serving cell and the neighbor cell are relatively decided based on the UE.

Hereinafter, a downlink means communication from the base station 20 to the UE1 10 and an uplink means communication from the UE 10 to the base station 20. In the downlink, a transmitter may be a part of the base station 20 and a receiver may be a part of the UE 10. In the uplink, the transmitter may be a part of the UE 10 and the receiver may be a part of the base station 20.

Meanwhile, the wireless communication system may be generally divided into a frequency division duplex (FDD) type and a time division duplex (TDD) type. According to the FDD type, uplink transmission and downlink transmission are achieved while occupying different frequency bands. According to the TDD type, the uplink transmission and the downlink transmission are achieved at different time while occupying the same frequency band. A channel response of the TDD type is substantially reciprocal. This means that a downlink channel response and an uplink channel response are approximately the same as each other in a given frequency area. Accordingly, in the TDD based wireless communication system, the downlink channel response may be acquired from the uplink channel response. In the TDD type, since an entire frequency band is time-divided in the uplink transmission and the downlink transmission, the downlink transmission by the base station and the uplink transmission by the terminal may not be performed simultaneously. In the TDD system in which the uplink transmission and the downlink transmission are divided by the unit of a subframe, the uplink transmission and the downlink transmission are performed in different subframes.

Hereinafter, the LTE system will be described in detail.

FIG. 2 shows a downlink radio frame structure according to FDD of 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) long term evolution (LTE).

The radio frame of FIG. 2 may be found in the section 5 of 3GPP TS 36.211 V10.4.0 (2011-12) “Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA); Physical Channels and Modulation (Release 10)”.

The radio frame includes 10 sub-frames indexed 0 to 9. One sub-frame includes two consecutive slots. Accordingly, the radio frame includes 20 slots. The time taken for one sub-frame to be transmitted is denoted TTI (transmission time interval). For example, the length of one sub-frame may be 1 ms, and the length of one slot may be 0.5 ms.

The structure of the radio frame is for exemplary purposes only, and thus the number of sub-frames included in the radio frame or the number of slots included in the sub-frame may change variously.

One slot includes NRB resource blocks (RBs) in the frequency domain. For example, in the LTE system, the number of resource blocks (RBs), i.e., NRB, may be one from 6 to 110.

The resource block is a unit of resource allocation and includes a plurality of sub-carriers in the frequency domain. For example, if one slot includes seven OFDM symbols in the time domain and the resource block includes 12 sub-carriers in the frequency domain, one resource block may include 7×12 resource elements (REs).

The physical channels in 3GPP LTE may be classified into data channels such as PDSCH (physical downlink shared channel) and PUSCH (physical uplink shared channel) and control channels such as PDCCH (physical downlink control channel), PCFICH (physical control format indicator channel), PHICH (physical hybrid-ARQ indicator channel) and PUCCH (physical uplink control channel).

The uplink channels include a PUSCH, a PUCCH, an SRS (Sounding Reference Signal), and a PRACH (physical random access channel).

Carrier Aggregation

A carrier aggregation system is now described.

A carrier aggregation system aggregates a plurality of component carriers (CCs). A meaning of an existing cell is changed according to the above carrier aggregation. According to the carrier aggregation, a cell may signify a combination of a downlink component carrier and an uplink component carrier or an independent downlink component carrier.

Further, the cell in the carrier aggregation may be classified into a primary cell, a secondary cell, and a serving cell. The primary cell signifies a cell operated in a primary frequency. The primary cell signifies a cell which UE performs an initial connection establishment procedure or a connection reestablishment procedure or a cell indicated as a primary cell in a handover procedure. The secondary cell signifies a cell operating in a secondary frequency. Once the RRC connection is established, the secondary cell is used to provide an additional radio resource.

As described above, the carrier aggregation system may support a plurality of component carriers (CCs), that is, a plurality of serving cells unlike a single carrier system.

The carrier aggregation system may support a cross-carrier scheduling. The cross-carrier scheduling is a scheduling method capable of performing resource allocation of a PDSCH transmitted through other component carrier through a PDCCH transmitted through a specific component carrier and/or resource allocation of a PUSCH transmitted through other component carrier different from a component carrier basically linked with the specific component carrier.

Introduction of Dual Connectivity (DC)

Recently, a scheme for simultaneously connecting UE to different base stations, for example, a macro cell base station and a small cell base station, is being studied. This is called dual connectivity (DC).

In DC, the eNodeB for the primary cell (Pcell) may be referred to as a master eNodeB (hereinafter referred to as MeNB). In addition, the eNodeB only for the secondary cell (Scell) may be referred to as a secondary eNodeB (hereinafter referred to as SeNB).

A cell group including a primary cell (Pcell) implemented by MeNB may be referred to as a master cell group (MCG) or PUCCH cell group 1. A cell group including a secondary cell (Scell) implemented by the SeNB may be referred to as a secondary cell group (SCG) or PUCCH cell group 2.

Meanwhile, among the secondary cells in the secondary cell group (SCG), a secondary cell in which the UE can transmit Uplink Control Information (UCI), or the secondary cell in which the UE can transmit a PUCCH may be referred to as a super secondary cell (Super SCell) or a primary secondary cell (Primary Scell; PScell).

Next-Generation Mobile Communication Network

With the success of Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN) for the fourth-generation mobile communication which is Long Term Evolution (LTE)/LTE-Advanced (LTE-A), the next generation mobile communication, which is the fifth-generation (so called 5G) mobile communication, has been attracting attentions and more and more researches are being conducted.

The fifth-generation communication defined by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) refers to providing a maximum data transmission speed of 20 Gbps and a maximum transmission speed of 100 Mbps per user in anywhere. It is officially called “IMT-2020” and aims to be released around the world in 2020.

The ITU suggests three usage scenarios, for example, enhanced Mobile BroadBand (eMBB), massive Machine Type Communication (mMTC), and Ultra Reliable and Low Latency Communications (URLLC).

URLLC relates to a usage scenario in which high reliability and low delay time are required. For example, services like autonomous driving, automation, and virtual realities requires high reliability and low delay time (for example, 1 ms or less). A delay time of the current 4G (LTE) is statistically 21-43 ms (best 10%), 33-75 ms (median). Thus, the current 4G (LTE) is not sufficient to support a service requiring a delay time of lms or less. Next, eMBB relates to a usage scenario in which an enhanced mobile broadband is required.

That is, the fifth-generation mobile communication system aims to achieve a capacity higher than the current 4G LTE and is capable of increasing a density of mobile broadband users and support Device-to-Device (D2D), high stability, and Machine Type Communication (MTC). Researches on 5G aims to achieve reduced waiting time and less batter consumption, compared to a 4G mobile communication system, in order to implement the IoT. For the 5G mobile communication, a new radio access technology (New RAT or NR) may be proposed.

FIGS. 3A to 3C are diagrams illustrating exemplary architecture for a next-generation mobile communication service.

Referring to FIG. 3A, a UE is connected in dual connectivity (DC) with an LTE/LTE-A cell and a NR cell.

The NR cell is connected with a core network for the legacy fourth-generation mobile communication, that is, an Evolved Packet core (EPC).

Referring to FIG. 3B, the LTE/LTE-A cell is connected with a core network for 5th generation mobile communication, that is, a Next Generation (NG) core network, unlike the example in FIG. 4A.

A service based on the architecture shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B is referred to as a non-standalone (NSA) service.

Referring to FIG. 3C, a UE is connected only with an NR cell. A service based on this architecture is referred to as a standalone (SA) service.

Meanwhile, in the above new radio access technology (NR), using a downlink subframe for reception from a base station and using an uplink subframe for transmission to the base station may be considered. This method may be applied to paired spectrums and not-paired spectrums. A pair of spectrum indicates including two subcarrier for downlink and uplink operations. For example, one subcarrier in one pair of spectrum may include a pair of a downlink band and an uplink band.

FIG. 4 shows an example of subframe type in NR.

A transmission time interval (TTI) shown in FIG. 5 may be called a subframe or slot for NR (or new RAT). The subframe (or slot) in FIG. 5 may be used in a TDD system of NR (or new RAT) to minimize data transmission delay. As shown in FIG. 4, a subframe (or slot) includes 14 symbols as does the current subframe. A front symbol of the subframe (or slot) may be used for a downlink control channel, and a rear symbol of the subframe (or slot) may be used for a uplink control channel. Other channels may be used for downlink data transmission or uplink data transmission. According to such structure of a subframe (or slot), downlink transmission and uplink transmission may be performed sequentially in one subframe (or slot). Therefore, a downlink data may be received in the subframe (or slot), and a uplink acknowledge response (ACK/NACK) may be transmitted in the subframe (or slot). A subframe (or slot) in this structure may be called a self-constrained subframe. If this structure of a subframe (or slot) is used, it may reduce time required to retransmit data regarding which a reception error occurred, and thus, a final data transmission waiting time may be minimized. In such structure of the self-contained subframe (slot), a time gap may be required for transition from a transmission mode to a reception mode or vice versa. To this end, when downlink is transitioned to uplink in the subframe structure, some OFDM symbols may be set as a Guard Period (GP).

Support of Various Numerologies

In the next generation system, with development of wireless communication technologies, a plurality of numerologies may be provided to a UE.

The numerologies may be defined by a length of cycle prefix (CP) and a subcarrier spacing. One cell may provide a plurality of numerology to a UE. When an index of a numerology is represented by μ, a subcarrier spacing and a corresponding CP length may be expressed as shown in the following table.

TABLE 1 μ f = 2^(μ·)15 [kHz] CP 0 15 Normal 1 30 Normal 2 60 Normal, Extended 3 120 Normal 4 240 Normal

In the case of a normal CP, when an index of a numerology is expressed by μ, the number of OLDM symbols per slot N^(slot) _(symb), the number of slots per frame N^(frame,μ) _(slot), and the number of slots per subframe N^(frame,μ) _(slot) are expressed as shown in the following table.

TABLE 2 μ N^(slot) _(symb) N^(frame,μ) _(slot) N^(subframe,μ) _(slot) 0 14 10 1 1 14 20 2 2 14 40 4 3 14 80 8 4 14 160 16 5 14 320 32

In the case of an extended CP, when an index of a numerology is represented by μ, the number of OLDM symbols per slot N^(slot) _(symb), the number of slots per frame N^(frame,μ) _(slot), and the number of slots per subframe N^(subframe,μ) _(slot) are expressed as shown in the following table.

TABLE 3 μ N^(slot) _(symb) N^(frame,μ) _(slot) N^(subframe,μ) _(slot) 2 12 40 4

Meanwhile, in the next-generation mobile communication, each symbol may be used for downlink or uplink, as shown in the following table. In the following table, uplink is indicated by U, and downlink is indicated by D. In the following table, X indicates a symbol that can be flexibly used for uplink or downlink.

Technical Problem to be Solved by the Present Disclosure

There may be various types of UEs using NR, including handheld UEs, Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) devices, and vehicle mounted devices. Depending on the type of a UE, transmission power class may be set differently, which may be determined based on the minimum peak Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) value due to beamforming supported by NR and the cumulative distribution function (CDF) value of a measured EIRP.

Depending on the type of a UE, the spherical range may be divided into full sphere and half sphere types, and the EIRP value corresponding to x %-tile CDF may be used for distinguishing the power class of the UE.

In NR FR2, the minimum peak EIRP for each band is defined as follows.

TABLE 9 Handheld Minimum NR band peak EIRP (dBm) n257 [21.2-25.2] range n258 [21.2-25.2] range n260 [19.4-23.7] range n261 [21.2-25.2] range

In the table above, the minimum peak EIRP is defined as the lower limit without tolerance. NR UE maximum output power limit is as follows.

TABLE 10 Total Radiated Power EIRP (dBm) NR band (TRP) handheld (dBm) handheld n257 23 43 n258 23 43 n260 23 43 n261 23 43

On the other hand, UE types may be divided as follows.

Important criteria for distinguishing types of UEs may include the minimum peak EIRP level and spherical coverage.

For example, as shown in the table below, handheld UEs may be classified as type 1, and fixed-type UEs may be classified as type 4.

As described above, the minimum peak EIRP and the spherical coverage are important elements for distinguishing UE types. However, in determining power classes for NR UEs, these elements have not been taken into account.

Description of the Present Disclosure

In what follows, the present disclosure proposes a method for defining power classes for NR UEs in the mmWave band.

More specifically, the present disclosure proposes methods for using the minimum peak EIRP, the maximum output power limit, and the spherical coverage to determine the NR UE type.

1. First Disclosure

The first disclosure proposes to assume the same UE type without classifying UEs into a handheld UE, a fixed wireless access (FWA) device, or a vehicle-mounted terminal.

Instead, the first disclosure proposes to define various terminals with similar minimum peak EIRP values as belonging to a single UE type. According to this disclosure, an advantageous effect is obtained that the number of signaling bits is reduced.

A UE type is distinguished by the minimum peak EIRP.

-   -   UEs belonging to the same UE type exhibit the same minimum peak         EIRP and spherical coverage.     -   Signaling is required to distinguish UE types.

For example, the descriptions above are summarized in the following table.

TABLE 12 Minimum peak EIRP power class (dBm) NR band UE type 1 UE type 2 UE type 3 UE type 4 n257 [21.2-25.2] range [28] [~35] range n258 [21.2-25.2] range n260 [19.4-23.7] range [30-40] range n261 [21.2-25.2] range [30-40] range

1-a. Modification of the First Disclosure

In a modified example of the first disclosure, the same UE type is assumed without taking into account handheld UEs, fixed wireless access (FWA) devices, and vehicle-mounted terminals. Instead, the modified example of the first disclosure proposes to use the minimum peak EIRP.

A UE type is distinguished by the minimum peak EIRP.

-   -   UEs belonging to the same UE type exhibit the same minimum peak         EIRP value. However, even for UEs belonging to the same UE type,         their spherical coverage is different from each other in terms         of x %-tile CDF.     -   Signaling is required to distinguish UE types. Also, signaling         is required to distinguish x%-tile CDFs.

The transmitter 111 includes a Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) unit 1111, a subcarrier mapper 1112, an IFFT unit 1113, a CP insertion unit 1114, a wireless transmitter 1115.

A signal spread (or pre-coded for the same meaning) by the DFT unit 111 is subcarrier-mapped by the subcarrier mapper 1112, and then generated as a time domain signal by passing through the IFFT unit 1113.

The DFT unit 111 performs DFT on input symbols to output complex-valued symbols. For example, if Ntx symbols are input (here, Ntx is a natural number), a DFT size may be Ntx.
